Dear Jay: Recently as I was looking for my callbacks Sat pm I discovered a group of people who have very strong opinions regarding having the city of Little Rock sponsor their dog. After reading 6 pages of --- would you, as the Head of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and as the owner of a currently running FC/AFC Ride Sally Ride, inform these people what your city's policy is. The majority of the RTF people have never been to or run a licensed field trial and thus they are unaware of procedures and the people who do. Strange that your dog and your passion are unknown within the city government. SEE YOU A__ I told you that just because you win an Open and Qualify for Nationals you are still a "NOBODY".

If you define a majority as over half, I'm sure Lanse is correct about that. Without a formal poll I would guess the number to be around 20%-30%. Hunt test on the other hand would be a much higher number. Just my unscientific perception.

As far as I understand yes you can ran under an amateur status. Under the rules to be considered a pro, you must be getting paid to train dogs.
If sponsorship make you a pro then all these people that are in the Tri-Tronics IC would be considered pros.

The more I'm on the internet the more I love my dogs.

I noticed that this poll was done in 2009. I know my focus changed after this time. What might be really interesting, if someone wants to set it up, would be a new poll and contrast it to this one to see how things have changed. . . or not!
